In Acts 2:17 the phrase "'last days' refers to the present era of redemptive history from the first coming of Christ (Heb 1:2; 1 Pet 1:20; 1 John 2:18) to his return." (p. 1636, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). "LAST DAYS. In the passage quoted from Joel the Hebrew has 'after this' and the Septuagint 'after these things.' Peter interprets the passage as referring specifically to the latter days of the new covenant in contrast to the former days of the old covenant." At the time of Acts chapter 2, "the age of Messianic fulfillment" had "arrived." (p. 1575, Zondervan NASB Study Bible, edited by Kenneth Barker, Zondervan, 1999) "Last Day(s), Latter Days, Last Times. There are problems with the terminology of 'the latter days' in that, for example, the King James Version quite often refers to 'the latter days,' an expression not found in modern translations. Further, it is not always clear whether 'the latter days' means a somewhat later period than that of the writer or the latest times of all, the end of the world. There are also expressions that locate the day being discussed in the time of the speaker. Care is needed as we approach the passages that use these terms." (pp. 464-465, Baker Theological Dictionary of the Bible, Walter A. Elwell, editor, Baker Books, 1996) |

Hello Very interesting. I will take that advice, and take care, but we are still in the days just before Jesus comes, and to me these are the last days. God Bless you Jeff W |

Personally I think Jesus' return will be at least 500 years from now. Show me a generation since the 300's AD that has not thought it was living in the days right before Jesus' return. I figure if I choose 500 or more years, I have a better chance of being right. :-) MJH |

Hello, You do have a point there. To me it is not a question of right or wrong, but as I contemplate Jesus coming soon, I get anxious for Him ,and want to tell the whole world to get ready. God Bless you Jeff W |
